ACTIVITY 1
Evaluation of organizational culture, power and politics and its impact on employee performance
Organizational culture
The way through which the Ryanair operates their major functions as well as perform
numerous functions eventually poses a huge impact on the organizational culture of Ryanair. The
organizational culture of this company is extremely intensive as well as holds a better position
and image within market. Ryanair have a well structure strategy and practices and thus their
main emphasis remains on meeting the needs as well as wants of the consumers. Together with
this, they are also focused towards improving the productivity of their employees and thus
incorporating the high level of cooperation as well as satisfaction within them. Since its global
expansion, it has been well-known for the best rating in terms of services and products from their
target customers which has eventually assisted them to a great level in boosting the culture as
well as ethics within their organization (Chumg and et.al.,2016). The most important challenge
and problem which Ryanair has faced in the recent when it comes to their organizational culture
is the autocratic influence of its management over the employees, decrease in the motivational
level, increase in the staff turnover etc. The organizational culture of company totally reflects the
various aspects of Handy's model and thus is somewhat similar. The Handy's model is the most
remarkable and renowned theory as well as model which influences and impacts the

organizational culture. Within this theory, it mainly focuses on the four attributes which at the
end influences and affects behaviour of organization as a whole.
Power culture
This mainly addresses the power which is being held by the personnel and individuals. In
short, these addresses and stresses upon the extent to which an organization imposes power on
the personnel. In Ryanair, this power culture is extremely imperative and thus the managers and
leaders exercise high degree of coercion and autocratic control over the staff. Therefore, the
company have powerful vulture and this leads to their high turnover (Majumdar, 2018).
Role culture
This culture is based on the assumption that the work as well as the activities within
organization are done as per the specified rules. The organization imposes stringent rules and
practices over employees and expect them to work according to these rules. As Ryanair exercises
strict control and autocracy on employees thus they have some rules for the employees like
complying to food and safety standards while serving passengers. This strict compliance to rules
is important for ensuring the safety of passengers thus this strict control helps the organization to
maintain their image in the market.
Task culture
This type of culture mainly deals with the establishment of different types of team for
resolving different types of problems and issues. The power which is being held by different
team members changes as per the problems. Ryanair has a dynamic team culture and thus
encourages its employees to work in teams by inculcating productive skills within them (Taylor,
2018).
Person culture
This is the component of Handy's model which addresses that the individual is more
likely to presume them as highly superior within organization in comparison to others. Ryanair
generally have these kinds of people and thus forms the person culture in organization. They tend
to emphasis mainly on personal preferences.
Nature of power
The nature of power which exists in Ryanair have different aspects according to the
situation and thus is based on French and Raven their of power. According to this theory, there
are basically five main foundation and basis of the power namely
